Coding Maxims

• code is debt (and bad code is a unhedged call option)
  • 
  • our users dont care about the code
  • every line of code has costs (your time, readability, maintainability, complexity)
    • its like owning a house with lots of rooms. its nice when your friends come over once a month, but you pay rent every day
  • dont add features unless you're sure it is necessary
  • dont optimize prematurely
